Risk is low to people who didn’t attend the event, but the event drew guests from all over the DMV and beyond...which means anyone exposed took their germs back to other communities.

My guess is it came from AIPAC - there is cross attendance

It was not an AIPAC event. It was a family event (think: funeral reception).

Parents are working and traveling. Makes it hard to believe all of MCPS should close.

I know a handful of people from Seattle who flew to DC early last week for a national conference.

I was there this morning. Each and every person who walks in must fill out a questionnaire and has their temp taken. Residents’ temps are taken twice a day. Nobody there is currently symptomatic. The event that the coronavirus patient attended was in one room so health dept. believes risk is low and have not instructed quarantines, unless symptomatic.

70 to 100 people attended the event! Must be either very big room or very small people. How is ot low risk to have sick person with so many and not even tracing contacts and ask to isolate?..

Not everyone attended at once. The reception lasted 6 hours.

ROCKVILLE, Md. - Montgomery County Public Schools is notifying parents after learning some of its students volunteered at a retirement home potentially exposed to coronavirus.

Montgomery County Schools Spokesperson Gboyinde Onijala tells FOX 5 that Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) was made aware by the county’s Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) that multiple students who attend Robert Frost Middle School in Rockville, Maryland volunteer at a large nearby retirement community called The Village at Rockville.

Onijala tells FOX 5 it is believed that the middle school volunteers who visited the retirement community, were there days after the Shiva. Montgomery County DHHS Chief Health Officer Dr. Travis Gayles says there is no specific concern for students who visited the retirement home after the Shiva.

County health officials and MCPS are working to track down what schools were involved, where the students were and when.

School officials sent a notice to parents at Robert Frost and other schools possibly connected:

By Saturday afternoon, MCPS confirmed both the Robert Frost Middle School and Thomas S. Wootton High School communities received the letter.

I know two (elderly) people who went to the shiva, and neither have any symptoms.

It’s doubtful any kids who visited the facility days later would develop symptoms.
